Chapter 102 Because, I am savior [Six thousand! 】
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational Finals, where EDG faces SKT!"
"What we are about to bring to you is the match between the two strongest teams in the world at this time that performed best in the Mid-Season Invitational!"
"After fifteen days of competition, the two teams, EDG and SKT, finally reached this point!"
"And now, they will have a final BO5 to determine the final winner and the champion of this MSI Mid-Season Invitational!"
"Can EDG shake SKT's almost unshakable dynasty!?"
"Can SKT continue their legend and epic?!"
"let us wait and see!"
In the center of the stage, the European and American host was excited and spoke loudly and impassionedly.
"First, let's invite—"
"SKT!"
Accompanied by almost deafening cheers from the audience, the spotlight gradually gathered.
On one side of the tunnel, six figures wearing SKT uniforms appeared.
The moment they appeared on the stage, there was once again a tsunami of cheers in the already crowded arena.
"The TOP, Huni!"
Huni, with a smile on his face, waved his hand and walked to his seat.
His expression was very calm. Rather than coming to compete, he acted more like a king who was ready to accept the cheers and admiration of his ministers.
In fact, he didn't feel any nervousness at all.
Do you still need to be nervous when playing as a top laner in the LPL?
He has never looked down upon LPL top laners.
Although A Guang defeated him twice, Huni didn't think A Guang was very strong.
Aren't you relying on you to get off the road?
I can win even if I have your bottom lane father.
"THE JUGLE, PEANUT!"
Little Peanut, with a bright smile on his face, walked to his seat.
When he walked onto the stage, he was still waving his hands and squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the moment.
For a player like Peanut, who is confident, what he enjoys most is the feeling of standing on the stage.
"THE MID STAR, FAKER!"
Along with the introduction, the host suddenly raised his voice.
The cheers, which had always been warm, reached their peak when Lee Sang Hyuk appeared.
With a calm expression and a habitual small wave of his hand, Lee Sang Hyuk walked onto the stage.
His hair was pretty well taken care of today. Although it still looked like cauliflower, it was at least a well-growing cauliflower.
Introducing other players only by position, but introducing Lee Sang Hyuk as a mid-lane superstar.
This is his unique position.
And he really deserves it.
The Triple Crown can be regarded as the pinnacle honor of this game.
"ADCARRY, BANG!"
Bang walked to the stage with a serious face and slightly raised head.
Following closely behind is naturally his golden partner, Wolf.
Standing together, these two are the current No. [-] bot lane team in the world.
Undoubtedly the kind! Finally, of course it’s SKT’s coach, kkoma.
He was wearing a suit and leather tie, and had a smile on his face that could make people feel like spring breeze.
The feeling is just one word: professional! All SKT members stood on the right side of the stage.
With Lee Sang Hyuk standing in the center as the mark, all his teammates gathered around him like stars holding the moon.
Lee Sang Hyuk's eyes are cold and calm, and his strong self-confidence can be seen with the naked eye.
"Guigui, Faker's champion face!"
In the dark live broadcast room, Zhuzhu couldn't help scratching his head.
"Damn it, the anchor is really disgusting to see how bad he is pretending to be!"
"Yuanshen, please give me some force 8! Can you kill Faker? It should be no problem!"
He kept mumbling to himself as if to emphasize.
This place is so important, a hundred times can’t be missed!
If it were just gone, Zhuzhu would really want Yuyu.
"Give up, Piggy, SKT is so confident today, haha!"
"You'll die if you bet on a dog! Good brother Li, let's execute justice directly!"
"Zhuzhu, get ready to beg for food under the overpass. Everyone will reward you then."
"Young master, hurry up and prepare to broadcast twenty hours a day to earn rice, otherwise KFC won't even be able to afford it!"
His barrage basically mocked him.
It's really funny how he looks now, and he lives up to his reputation as a humorous fat man.
"I fucking don't understand. In the competition between Chinese and Koreans, why are you always talking for the Koreans?"
Piggy was instantly unhappy,
"You just want to see me die?"
"You guys are really a bunch of fucking idiots, and you broadcast twenty hours a day. You want me to broadcast to death?"
"Do I have to die to satisfy you?"
After scolding the barrage, Zhuzhu perked up.
"EDG is on the field!"
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, don't make any noise!"
At the scene, EDG players and coaches walked to the stage one after another.
The first is A Guang, who is a bit shy.
His smile is as magical as ever. It can be seen that it comes from the heart and is very contagious.
"Guigui, Mouse (Aguang's ID) is smiling. He looks so confident! Mouse can hold up the huni for me today, right?"
"As long as he risks his own life, I, Yuan Shen, will definitely lead him to win. I believe that he can be stable even if he risks his own life. It's a veteran tree, so don't talk too much."
Piggy felt a little more at ease.
Aguang was smashed to pieces in the group stage, and he can still laugh now.
That should be very confident indeed.
At this moment, a barrage floating past caught Zhuzhu's attention.
"Don't the anchor think A Guang might have a C today?"
As if seeing a big joke, Piggy couldn't help laughing.
"He's paralyzed!"
"Let me tell you, risking death is the kind of person whose father doesn't care about his mother. Don't worry about him. He can still support him a little. If you put your hope in him, then EDG It’s gone.”
"I hope EDG won't cause trouble. You can't believe it if you risk your life. Only fools believe in him. It's me, Yuan Shen, who will be harmed. Just keep it safe!"
Mingkai has experienced many games, but he has only been to the MSI finals once in S5.
S6 failed to beat RNG, and RNG came to the MSI that year.
Just to mention it, before someone joined RNG, RNG already had a spring crown.
After someone quits RNG, RNG still has the spring crown.
Reach the finals again, even if it's not the S game.
Ming Kai was still excited.
This is the place he dreams of reaching!
He looked serious and very serious.
He stood next to Aguang.
"The factory is very serious today, okay, I agree."
"Let me tell you, I know Factory. Every time he is particularly serious, he usually performs well. He should be able to withstand today's beating."
Piggy felt a little more relieved.
Next, of course, is the double C.
Scout's face was equally calm, and he walked to his seat amidst the cheers, looking at SKT who was standing not far away without any trace.
To be precise, he was looking at Lee Sang Hyuk.
He was also a former SKT player, but he later found out that there was no chance, so he came to EDG.
There was a time when he thought about taking over Faker's position and becoming SKT's mid laner.
Naturally, I have mixed feelings about SKT.
However, now that he has reached this point, it is naturally impossible for him to have any thoughts of retaining the old relationship.
Getting honors is his goal! loyalty?
Haha, Korean audiences don’t recognize it either.
Scout knows this very well. Even if he does start the performance secretly, the Korean audience will just insist that he is the one.
So Scout has no idea of serving the country with loyalty.
Because he himself is Korean, he understands Koreans very well.
Only after he truly wins the championship will Koreans respect him! Because this is Mu Qiang's nature.
"ADCARRY, SAVIOR!"
Following the introduction of Xu Yuan, the audience immediately burst into violent cheers that were no less than those of Lee Sang Hyuk.
Audiences from all countries and nationalities were cheering crazily.
"Savior! Savior! Savior!"
They shouted Xu Yuan's ID in unison, with unabashed love and admiration in their eyes.
After one MSI, Xu Yuan has completely converted many viewers from other regions who did not originally watch LPL games into his fans.
Especially the European and American Divisions and the Korean Division!
There are so many people in these two places who like Xu Yuan! The reason for the European and American divisions is simple, because Europeans and Americans inherently value individual heroism.
And Xu Yuan's current situation is...
If he can't stand up, then EDG will basically lose! Under such circumstances, Xu Yuan, who perfectly carried the game against SKT twice, was naturally liked by European and American audiences.
They even gave Xu Yuan a nickname now:
“The lone hero from LPL”
One can imagine how much they like Xu Yuan.
In fact, many operational players, such as left- and right-handed players, can easily achieve higher evaluations in European and American competitions.
Because the European and American competitions place more emphasis on the individual performance of the players. As long as your performance is good, no one will think about you when the team loses. They will only think about the gap between your teammates.
Now you understand why God is often praised by European and American audiences, right?
And why do Korean audiences like Xu Yuan...
The reasons are even more diverse.
First of all, he is handsome.
The average person in South Korea is extremely handsome, and in South Korea, where the plastic surgery industry is popular, the importance of appearance is very high.
Why was chovy used by Korean fists to create gods?
Because while he is strong enough, he is also nearly meters tall and looks like a very standard Korean handsome guy.
Therefore, Koreans are born to have a good impression of Xu Yuan.
At the same time, Koreans are very strong-willed.
Although Xu Yuan is an LPL player, he now double-killed SKT.
He is an absolute carry.
Coupled with SKT's somewhat subtle reputation among Korean audiences, fans of many teams such as Samsung KT have regarded Xu Yuan as their savior.
How dominant are SKT fans now?
To make a simple analogy:
S8's RNG won the S8 Global Finals championship while winning consecutive spring and summer titles, and then won the S9 Global Finals championship.
RNG fans at this time are basically equivalent to the status of SKT fans now.
One can imagine how frustrated fans of other LCK clubs must be.
LCK is not like LPL in the World Championship. They have no close enemies at all.
Naturally, a civil war began.
Therefore, Xu Yuan, who double defeated SKT in the group stage, became their savior without hesitation.
Even if Xu Yuan once triggered the first attack and scolded the Koreans in the Korean server, they were very good at self-reflection and selectively ignored don't care who wins MSI in the end.
As long as SKT doesn't win! This state is very similar to the LPL after S10. After winning the championship, the breath that the division was holding was released.
People's hearts will be scattered.
Jumping directly into the National Ranch era, fans of all major teams attack each other.
This player is a beast, and that player is also a beast.
All I can say is that there is really nothing new in the world.
The LPL hasn't started yet, but the LCK is already tired of playing.
Coupled with Xu Yuan's interaction with ESPN on Twitter, Koreans also enjoyed it.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Yuan is now the most internationally renowned player in the entire LPL.
"Savior!!! My savior!! Defeat the evil SKT and win the trophy that belongs to you!"
"Invincible General Savior, I don't support SKT and I have been deprived of my nationality. Can you please help me get it back? Thank you! (Please in Korean)"
"Axi, are you guys really Korean? Are you still supporting the LPL team at this time?"
"K-sex! Can you bastards get out of the LCK? Go over there with your top eight and sixteen!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, SKT adults are here again, and my nationality is gone again, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"It's because of you disgusting fans that we support EDG! It's so disgusting!"
"You are Chinese if you don't support SKT? Haha, the ugly faces of SKT fans are really disgusting!"
This is the Korean barrage now. I can only say that it is a bit harsh.
Xu Yuan walked onto the stage with a smile on his face,
His steps were steady and there was no sense of sway at all.
A person's walking posture really affects a person's posture, and for Xu Yuan, he studied it specifically when he was in elementary school.
In his previous life, he was an out-and-out rich man.
The kind who goes online, and when others look at his IP address, they will jokingly shout "Shanghai Ye V50".
Otherwise, how could a person who could die at any time still spend ten years in the hospital?
Even if you have medical insurance, does it cost nothing to treat a disease?
Xu Yuan's Earth Online was originally on easy difficulty, but he didn't have the health that ordinary people have from the beginning.
Death is the most liberal democratic and politically correct.
Because in front of him, everyone is truly equal.
So now Xu Yuan still has muscle memory and has a unique style when he walks.
Let's go, Xu Yuan.
He whispered softly.
Looking up, there are lights scattered all over the sky.
Lowering his head, there were bursts of cheers from the audience.
This was a scene he had dreamed of ten thousand times.
And today, he finally stood here!
He walked forward calmly, unhurriedly, unwaveringly.
Come out and be a tiger!
Walking out, it feels like a lifetime ago!
When he stood still in his position, his breathing that was somewhat rapid due to excitement gradually calmed down.
He panted slightly, with a heartfelt and confident smile on his face. Facing the audience, he put his hands in his trouser pockets.
Chic!
At this moment I have my hands in my pockets and can't find my opponent! "Guigui, Yuan Shen! He is so confident!"
"My Yuan Shen is back!"
"Wu~~! Yuan Shen! So handsome!"
Piggy watched with excitement.
He is so confident. Is it possible that he is stable today? I won’t introduce much about Tian Ye and A Bu who were given free phone calls.
In the center of the field, the MSI trophy was already placed there.
Xu Yuan really wanted to touch the trophy in the fist not far away now.
But after thinking about it, forget it.
As long as you win, there are plenty of opportunities to touch! The players from both sides took their seats and began to install peripheral equipment.
The game is about to enter the BP stage.
And at this moment, the MSI finals promotional video filmed by both players before the final battle finally appeared on the screen! After a brief black screen, a line of English letters appeared on the big screen.
"Legend and Return"
[Translation: Legend and Return]
As the picture gradually became brighter, what appeared in the picture was Lee Sang Hyuk standing on the top floor of the Niterói Museum of Contemporary Art, a famous building in Brazil.
The Niterói Museum of Contemporary Art is located on a cliff next to a bay. Along the golden section, you can clearly see the rolling waves in the lower right corner of the picture.
"Coming to MSI this time, for SKT, finishing second is a failure."
Lee Sang Hyuk calmly looked into the distance and the cliff at his feet, and the voiceover played his pre-game interview.
"EDG is a good opponent, but a temporary defeat will not defeat SKT. In the finals, I will let them know who is the master of this arena."
The scene turned and came under a huge sculpture.
This is Rio de Janeiro’s iconic building: the Brazilian Christ.
The giant Jesus Christ, wearing a robe and raising his hands, looks lovingly at the beautiful view of the city of Rio de Janeiro and embraces the Atlantic Ocean.
In front of the statue of Jesus Christ, in the bright sunshine.
The handsome Xu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, opened his arms, and embraced the bright sunshine in front of him.
"In past events, the LCK has almost dominated the world, and I believe Lee Sang Hyuk has played a major role in this."
"The LPL has failed too many times, and people have even lost hope. Many people feel that we are no match for SKT."
"But I feel that since there must be someone to break the dominance of the LCK, why can't that person be me?"
"I will defeat Lee Sang Hyuk today."
"I will let the world see today that LPL can also have hope and a future."
"Because, I am Savior."
"I am, the savior."
Xu Yuan's speaking speed was not fast.
Just like a quiet late night, your friend is sitting next to you, calmly and softly, telling his ideals.
Although it is plain, the determination revealed in it is eye-catching!
as he said.
Since someone has to stand up, why can't that person be him? He knows that next year IG can break the dominance of LCK and win the LPL championship.
He also knows that FPX will win the S Championship again the year after next and help LPL win two consecutive championships.
He also knew that in the original S11, a team named EDG would crush all doubts and win the LPL's third S championship.
but!
Why wait until next year?
Why should we sit back and watch the LCK dominate for another year? Why should we watch them engage in a civil war between the Korean team in the Bird's Nest that belongs to us?
Why?
Xu Yuan, can't wait any longer.
Can't wait for a moment! 1 years is too long, he only fights for the day and night.
He wants to be the one who breaks the dominance of LCK early.
He wants LPL viewers to not have to wait another year.
Not next year! Not next year!
Not the future!
Just this year! He has already scored in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
And this year, he will definitely reach the final Bird's Nest.
Let LPL viewers who bought Bird's Nest tickets not be left without a team to cheer for! This is his little dream.
And now, he has achieved the first step.
He specifically said these words in Chinese.
Although we are playing in an international competition, we must take care of our own audience.
Xu Yuan didn't care whether others understood or not, he only cared about his family.
And there is no doubt that his determination has been clearly conveyed to the LPL audience.
For a moment, the originally heated barrage in the LPL live broadcast room came to a standstill.
However, what followed was not cooling down, but more craziness! "Fuck!!! Damn it! Kill Yuan Shen!!"
"Kill kill kill kill kill kill!"
"Come on Xu Yuan! Come on EDG!! We must win!!!"
"My blood is boiling, brother Meng. I originally thought I would lose in the finals, but I don't care now. I just want to believe in Yuan Shen!"
"Although EDG is disgusting, as an emperor, I still choose to support Xu Yuan! Come on, Xu Yuan!"
"Yuanbao!!! So handsome!!"
What Xu Yuan said is really good.
And he was speaking completely from his heart, so it sounded naturally very sincere.
Humans are actually very sensitive animals. You can tell whether you are serious or not as soon as you hear something.
The audience truly felt the determination that belonged to Xu Yuan.
They knew that Xu Yuan was serious.
It turns out that his ID is Savior.
Is that why you took it?
The audience was sincerely shocked.
What kind of belief is this...
A player who is willing to say he wants to break the LCK dominance.
A player who wants to give hope and future to LPL.
A player who has fulfilled part of his promise and accomplished the feat of double-killing SKT!
This is Savior.
This is Xu Yuan! At least for now.
Even people who never thought they could beat SKT in the finals decided to believe in him for a short time.
Because his sincere heart has already touched the audience who were already a little numb after losing!
He really did what he said, bringing hope to the LPL audience at this time.
Lee Sang Hyuk had already installed the peripherals and did not put on the headphones.
He could naturally see Xu Yuan's words on the big screen behind him.
"Do you want to beat me and break the dominance of LCK?"
He whispered, suddenly showing a smile.
Putting on the headphones neatly, his expression instantly became calm and serious.
"Then, let's try it out!"
Although Lee Sang Hyuk admitted that what Xu Yuan said was very good and contagious, He also admires players like Xu Yuan.
But he will never give up the championship.
Isn’t it just the desire for a championship?
Who doesn't? My faith is no less than yours! "Are you ready, kids?"
kkoma's voice sounded with a smile.
"Another challenger is here."
"Send them a taste of failure, we've done it many times."
The proud SKT no longer has any contempt at this moment.
Because they recognized EDG’s will.
Approved Xu Yuan! As our enemy? You are barely qualified.
Next, I’m going to let you taste the bitter pill of failure.
After we SKT win the MSI championship...
I never thought about letting go! BP, let's go! (End of this chapter)
